The command will fetch the OpenWrt base system and put it into the openwrt subfolder of your current working directory. From now on this HOWTO assumes that your working direcory will be the newly created openwrt folder.

Please mind that this config does not define what packages will be compiled - it just defines which package-descriptions (OpenWrt-Makefiles) will be fetched which will be listed within the menuconfig later.

After that update your feeds to download the OpenWrt-Makefiles of these packages and provide (install) them

scripts/feeds update -a
scripts/feeds install -a

Configure target and packages

Now you'll have to select the target platform for the freerunner. Run

make menuconfig

and select s3c24xx as the Target System. As Target Profile you have to choice between

Openmoko GTA-02 (full): This is the one you probably want since it has enlightenment and paroli preselected.

Openmoko GTA-02 (minimal): This profile contains only the basic OpenWrt packages, so you'll only get a shell and some command-line utils.

You now can also select additional packages you want to be installed in your image. Make sure you select as build in [*] else [M] you'll only get the packages but they will not be in the image, but can be installed later on.

You maybe also want to change the IP address under which the freerunner will be reachable. To do so select "[*] Image configuration". In its submenu you can change the images network configuration.

Per default OpenWrt is using the uclibc as libc implementation. You can use another libc (e.g. the glibc) by changing that via "[*] Advanced configuration options (for developers)" -> "--- Toolchain Options" -> "LIBC implementation".

Enlightenment requirements

Currently to get the EFL (enlightenment and its libraries) compiled within OpenWrt you need to have recent executables of <eet> and <edje_cc> preinstalled on your host-system. This is just a temporary solution and will be changed soon. Common packages which distribute these binaries are named <edje> and <eet>.
If your distribution doesn't provide any recent e17 packages you can use File:Openwrt build efl host tools.sh to fetch and build the required tools from e17 svn.

dbus-binding-tool to be able to compile "gsm0710muxd". (On Debian Lenny: libdbus-glib-1-dev)

autopoint and cvs is used by enlightenment building process. (On Debian Lenny: gettext cvs)

This will now take some time. Please make sure you have enough free space left (~4 GB for full-profile).
Instead you can use "make V=99" to get debug output to see what's going on / went wrong.

Flash Neo FreeRunner

When the build process is finished you will find a rootfs (openwrt-s3c24xx-2.6-root.jffs2-128k) and a kernel image (openwrt-s3c24xx-2.6-uImage) in the bin/ subfolder of your OpenWrt installation, which can be installed on your freerunner with the dfu util as normal.

Try it !

After flashing both images, reboot your phone and depending on what packages were built into the image (=you've selected) you might be able to initiate / receive phonecalls with your FreeRunner running OpenWrt :)

You can also reach the freerunner over usb network via telnet. SSH is also available after you have set up password for the root account (Run `passwd` in a telnet session).

Congratulations!

Fetching OpenWrt trunk

The command will fetch the OpenWrt base system and put it into the openwrt subfolder of your current working directory. From now on this HOWTO assumes that your working direcory will be the newly created openwrt folder.

cd openwrt

Add packages from extra feeds

Although this is sufficient enough to build an image for the freerunner you will not be able to build a lot of packages useful on your phone. Those packages are in extra feeds. To enable those feeds:

cp feeds.conf.default feeds.conf

Then edit your feeds.conf and enable the efl (for enlightenment) and phone (for fso, paroli, ...) feeds, by removing the '#' at the beginning of these lines, so that it might look like:

Please mind that this config does not define what packages will be compiled - it just defines which package-descriptions (OpenWrt-Makefiles) will be fetched which will be listed within the menuconfig later.

After that update your feeds to download the OpenWrt-Makefiles of these packages and provide (install) them
